Love Reading at home by the pool relaxing or on a cruise relaxing in a deck chair in the sun! My nook (paperwhite) or my ipad with kindle and nook apps goes with me on a cruise.....much easier than carrying a couple books and I have an endless library when I finish one and need another.

May 12th 2017 - Majesty of the Seas Girls weekend for my sister and I! :)

Freedom of the Seas April 24, 2016

Thanks Michelle, I just received an email from RC answering my email question from a week ago confirming what I thought was correct. I think the girl at customer service didn't understand and gave me the wrong information that had me confused. We sailed on Carnival Splendor last April. Carnival allows you go to online to the Fun Shop and order in-room beverages to be delivered to your cabin, they have can drink packages, wine, champagne, and liquor packages. I usually order the "Crown Royal Mixer" which is a bottle of crown and 6 can cokes for 90.00. We purchased the FTTF so our cabin was ready when we boarded and the Crown was delivered shortly after our luggage. Since RC doesn't do this we are going to get the drink package. He will just have to find a bar close to the room while I get ready for dinner......lol We will adapt and overcome! Glad to hear about the water. :) I'm looking forward to this new adventure on a new cruise line for me.

Thanks to both Matt & Todd for your replies. I guess we will mark that one up as a very nice Carnival perk. I think we are going to go ahead and spend the 404.74 ea on a drink package then.

Matt Royal gifts is where I started my research....they show only wine or champagne. So I called customer service, she didn't know so she called Royal Gifts and they told her I could purchase from the shop on the ship and have it delivered to the room. I explained to her that I thought all liquor purchases from the shop on the ship where held until day of departure. She assured me they said I could do it. Then I read this on the website question and answers: How can I collect my onboard/liquor purchases - Royal Caribbean International Print This Page Q: How can I collect my onboard/liquor purchases? A: Liquor purchases made onboard or onshore will be delivered your stateroom on the last night of the cruise. So I am confused and we have just decided not to worry about it and make other plans. It is not that big of a deal it is just my husband likes to make a drink and sit on the balcony while I get ready for dinner.....it keeps him occupied while I primp....lol We will just have to stop by a bar on the way to our room to get ready and get him one. Thanks for the info on the water.

We have booked a Cruise on Freedom of the Seas departing 4/24/16. This is my first time cruising with Royal Caribbean, I have cruised 6 other times on CCL. 1st question: On my past cruises with CCL I have pre-ordered a bottle of Crown to be delivered to our cabin for my husband. I looked in the gift shop to do this on this cruise and couldn't find liquor just wine. I called customer service and the girl told me she thought I could order it at the shop on the ship and have it delivered to the cabin. I have read that all liquor purchased on the ship would be held until the end of the cruise. Was I misinformed? Can anyone clear this up for me? 2nd question: On the drink packages that include bottled water. Can I order a bottle of water when I order a frozen or mixed drink. I am a heavy water drinker and like to keep a bottle with me even when I am drinking frozen drinks pool side.
